The Burien Arts Association is presenting fascinating art workshops in fused glass and collage over the Winter Break for students in grades 6-8.

The workshops taught by noted artist Kris Vermeer will be Monday through Wednesday, Dec. 28, 29 and 30 at the Burien Arts Gallery, 826 S.W. 152nd St. in Olde Burien. The workshops run 10-11:30 a.m. The workshops are free but donations to the sponsoring Burien Arts Association are welcome.
Class size is limited to 10 students so those interested should register soon by email at burienarts@g.mail.com.

On Monday, Dec. 28 and Tues., Dec. 29 workshop participants will work with pre-cut pieces of smooth glass and glass enamels. Students may create up to three projects, such as small plaques, window/wall ornaments or magnets.

Instructor Kris Vermeer will fire the works and return to students for pick up on Wednesday, Dec. 30.
On Dec. 30, students will also create collages using recycled paper and other materials to create a new work of art.

Kris Vermeer has created public art, currently teaches in the Tacoma School District and has exhibited at the Burien Arts Gallery. She was one of the featured artists at the Burien Arts Association’s Vision 20/20Art Sale and Gala in November.
